Description
Bite-sized buffalo chicken pinwheels made with shredded chicken, cream cheese, hot sauce, cheeses, and green onions—all rolled in tortillas for a creamy, spicy, and tangy appetizer perfect for parties or snacks.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 5 ounces Frank’s Red Hot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup Colby-Jack cheese, shredded
- 1/3 cup green onions, chopped
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 5 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, blue cheese, salt, garlic powder, Colby-Jack cheese, and green onions until smooth using a hand mixer.
- Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken until fully combined and coated with the buffalo mixture.
- Spread about 3/4 cup of the mixture evenly over each tortilla and roll them up tightly.
- Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours to firm up.
- Unwrap and slice each roll into 1/2 to 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use canned or cooked chicken breast if rotisserie chicken isn’t available.
- Chilling before slicing ensures clean cuts and firmer pinwheels.
- Substitute Colby-Jack with cheddar, Monterey Jack, gouda, or Muenster.
- For a milder taste, reduce hot sauce or add extra cheese.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
